[UPDATE] Sith Apprentice to appear in Soul Calibur IV

Posted on June 6th, 2008 at 15:13 EDT

According to Gamespot, Darth Vader's secret apprentice from the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed title will be starring as a playable character in Namco's Soul Calibur IV.

For those of you who are not up to date with The Force Unleashed, the apprentice is a tortured soul who is brought up by the learnings of his Sith Lord master, Darth Vader. Trained to have great knowledge of the force and equipped with a crimson lightsaber, this new character will make for a deadly opponent. From what has been shown in The Force Unleashed, the apprentice has the power to not only move objects with the force, but cause powerful explosions obliterating everything surrounding him.

 



On a side note, PSU.com has been told that the apprentice isn't the only new Star Wars character we'll be seeing. Apparently Namco plans to have up to five Star Wars characters all together, including the two platform exclusives, Yoda and Vader.

However, this hasn't been confirmed, this is just a rumor from a little birdie.

Gamers can expect to find this new character in both versions of Soul Calibur IV which is set to release on the Xbox 360 and PS3 in regular and limited editions on July 29.

UPDATE: Namco has released all new screenshots of the Sith apprentice in Soul Calibur IV which you can view here.

 Hmmm...  Not a bad addition. I wonder what other characters will make the cut?  This game is starting to look more intriguing to me all the time!

omg they are going to add every freaking thing they can get their hands on

its kind of making me worried about if they have lost it all after 2 that they have to keep adding all this random characters and these new ones that the majority look crappy in my opinion

I think they could stray a bit from Star Wars and maybe put some other characters in there.  Kratos anyone?  Nero or Dante? Ryu from Ninja Gaiden? Altair from AC?

---

Either way I think the other 2 characters would be Mace WIndu and Obi-Wan.  Or maybe even General Grievous as a boss.

If they keep going like this they're gonna have to change the title to "star calibur" or "soul wars" or something like that, lol!

II think they should introduce a female jedi to an all ready dominated male roster. Personally I would vote for Shaak Ti as a candidate for one of the five. What do u guys think? -------- @ InfernoReaper - Those are great ideas for other Soul Calibur characters. I would love to see Alucard from Castlevania in there, now that would be awsome.

i dont know if this is a good idea, its not like the "apprentice" is an established character or anything, so this isnt anything to get excited about

InfernoReaper i feel u on the Kratos. if they put Kratos in a Soul Calibur that SHT would go hard. but then what would they put on the xcox version? master chief or bill gates.
